What is Hawai'i LIMBY?

Hawaii LIMBY is an organization dedicated to building a housing market that supports kama'aina and kanaka alike. We believe we can do so through the establishment of trusts dedicated to preserving land and housing affordability in perpetuity.

We believe our housing conversation has been dominated by folks who say not in my backyard (NIMBYs) and by developers who have co-opted our affordable housing debate to claim the opposite side (yes in my backyard or YIMBY), but really are all about profits.

We're here to build a movement that gets locals housed–we say we need a movement for locals in my backyard (LIMBY). To get there we're providing policy guidance, data, and public outreach. You can read more read more about what we think will work on the policy stubs page.
